Appendix A contains troubleshooting tips in case you encounter any problems while using your computer.

Appendix B provides information about the power-on diagnostics.

Appendix C outlines the system diagnostics checks you can perform on your computer. If you are having trouble with any part of the hardware, you may want to run some of these diagnostics checks.

Appendix D describes how to perform a hardware-level format on a hard disk. You need to do this only if you have installed a new hard disk that has never received this type of low-level format, or if you are having serious problems with the hard disk in your computer. (This is not the same type of format you can perform with the MS-DOS FORMAT command.)

Appendix E lists the types of hard disk drives you can use in the Equity 386SX.

Appendix F gives the technical specifications for the computer.

At the end of the manual, you’ll find a glossary of the computer terms used in this manual and an index.
